Some flats were built and rented by considering the adequacy of motion and comfort. Facilities and infrastructure including the size of the space of each Flat unit also use the minimum level approach needed by the community as a user through meeting the requirements regarding the security and comfort of the movement. The requirements regarding the security and comfort of the movement are one of the four conditions in the Regulation of the Minister of Public Works and Public Housing. The comfort requirements of movement are in accordance with universal design principles and the principle of basic space size, namely equality of space use, easy access without obstacles, easy access to information, use of space for independence, minimum user effort, and space-size ergonomic fitness.
